State-owned NIOC said that operations have begun to start injecting oil into the 1,000km Goreh-Jask pipeline, which will be inaugurated "in the near future."
The 46-inch diameter pipeline connects Iran's southwest Bushehr province to Jask, on the country's southern Gulf of Oman coast. The Jask terminal will provide an alternative to the Kharg Island loading point — from where most Iranian crude is shipped — and smaller terminals Lavan, Sirri and Soroush, all of which are located further into the Mideast Gulf. Iranian condensate exports are served by the Assaluyeh terminal.
Iran has overwhelmingly relied on Kharg Island for its crude shipments. Argus tracking indicate that of the average 2.036mn b/d that Iran exported in the January-March 2018 period — the most recent quarter before the introduction of the latest US sanctions — Kharg Island undertook or provided crude as part of co-loads for 1.974mn b/d, or nearly 97pc.
More recent records of Iranian exports have been muddied by the tendency of tankers to turn off their AIS transponders. Analysts say that Iranian crude exports have risen to between 650,000-750,000 b/d in recent months. These mostly go to some Chinese independent refiners, and some to Syria.
Iran's efforts to raise its export capacity come as discussions continue in Vienna between Tehran and the White House to pave the way for the US to return to the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) nuclear deal. This could lead to an easing of Washington's commercial sanctions against Iran.

We need to increase the size of the navy. We MUST protect our energy lifeline, the Strait of Hormuz. Ah yes, the 70s all over again, inflation and our Middle East oil lifeline. Maybe out of work American oil workers could join the navy and protect the sheiks and mullahs.
“Iran to start crude exports from Jask terminal in June”
ONLY IF IT’S STILL THERE.
Analysts say that Iranian crude exports have risen to between 650,000-750,000 b/d in recent months. These mostly go to some Chinese independent refiners, and some to Syria. Iran's efforts to raise its export capacity come as discussions continue in Vienna between Tehran and the White House to pave the way for the ... easing of Washington's commercial sanctions against Iran.
Biden's and the rest of the Demagogic Party's attacks on US and Canadian pipelines fits well into this context.
Jask....Sounds like a good target!
It will be. And Biden might send Iran (borrowed) money to modernize it.
